STITCH EXPLANATION
kfb (knit in front and back) Knit next st without removing it from left needle,
then k through back of same st – 1 st increased.

NOTES

1. Poncho is made in one piece worked from the neck down.

2. The Poncho is designed in reverse Stockinette st. Since it’s worked in the
round, this would mean that you’d be purling every round. We know from
your comments that not everyone loves to purl! So the pattern is written
for you to knit every round, then simply turn the Poncho inside out.
3. The fringe is attached to the knit "lines" that appear on the RS.
4. Stitch markers are used to indicate the beginning of the round and where
to increase. It may be helpful to use one color marker for the beginning of
the round and a different color for the 3 increase markers.

FINISHING
Turn Poncho inside out – so the smooth side of your work is on the WS.
Weave in ends.

Fringe
Cut strands of yarn about 10 in. (25.5 cm) long. For each fringe, hold 4 strands of
yarn together and fold in half. Use crochet hook to draw fold through lower edge
of Poncho, forming a loop. Draw ends of fringe through this loop. Pull to tighten.
Make fringe about 2 in. (5 cm) around lower edge of Poncho.
You’ll notice that the purl sts you worked when making the Poncho created 4
vertical lines on the Poncho.
Make fringe about 2 in. (5 cm) along each of these 4 lines.
Trim fringe ends evenly.
